Toasted Coconut Breakfast Spread

Today I discovered something delicious...possibly my new favorite snack. 

Toasted Coconut Breakfast Spread
(you can go HERE for the original link)


This is how I made it...
(makes about 26 TBSP at just 22 calories each)

1 1/2 cups Cottage Cheese (300 cals)
2 TBSP honey (120 cals)
1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes (140 cals)

Put Cottage Cheese and honey in blender and blend til smooth and creamy.
Stir in toasted coconut.
(All of you who don't like cottage cheese because of the texture you have to give this a try. The consistency is smooth, thick and creamy...yummy)

Spread 2 TBSP on an English muffin, top with 1/2 a banana sliced into bite sized pieces and you have yourself a sweet little snack full of protein and healthy carbs and just 214 calories.  

It just hit me that this would be even better with some crushed walnuts sprinkled on top:)

Plain old cottage cheese drizzled with honey is amazing too.  Maybe you already knew these two foods paired well together but for me this was a very exciting discovery.
